DESCRIPTION:Different social classes have different tools at their disposal
 \, such as political influence and collusion\, which in turn influence the 
 market structure of an economy. While the effects of political influence ha
 ve been studied\, the prevalence and associated outcomes of collusion are u
 nclear\, since collusion is usually illegal and thus difficult to measure. 
 I collect a novel dataset on collusion in Late Tsarist Russia and use class
 ic and staggered differences-in-differences to study the relationship betwe
 en elites\, foreign entities\, merchants and collusion\, and how collusion 
 may affect industrialization. Industries with elite presence are not necess
 arily more collusive. However when there is a contraction in demand these i
 ndustries see an increase in collusion\, especially when they face foreign 
 competition. Colluding firms within the metals sector see their machine pow
 er increase\, indicating collusion gave them more financial leeway to mecha
 nize in an environment with underdeveloped financial markets - implying tha
 t in such a setting collusion was beneficial for industrialization.\\n\\nCo
